Abstract:

BOLD fMRI has been widely accepted for brain function study. In nature, the output of BOLD fMRI consists of a pair of magnitude and phase components. Conventionally, only the magnitude has been used for brain function analysis, and the phase data were discarded. Recent research shows that neither the magnitude nor the phase of BOLD fMRI is a faithful representation of the original brain magnetic state due to MRI-introduced transformations (such as the dipole effect) and nonlinear distortions (such as complex modulo and complex argument calculations). One consequence is that the raw BOLD fMRI data is determined by MRI experiment parameters, such as B0 and echo time (TE). In principle, we can remove the MRI transformations and MRI parameter dependences by computationally solving an inverse MRI problem (CIMRI). In this talk, I will present the CIMRI principle (inverse MRI theory) and technology (3D dipole inversion) for reconstructing the original brain magnetic state (free from MRI influences) ，in particular about the physics aspects of inverse MRI.
